mber with a special tribute to Burt Bacharach. The show, which takes place in New York City at Fez under Time Cafe on Dec. 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12, will feature 30 Bacharach compositions–both famous and obscurities–performed by an all-star lineup of New York music scenesters. For more information, visit the Losers Lounge on the Web.

Here I Am: Isley Meets Bacharach was released Tuesday by DreamWorks Records. This collection of Bacharach-David songs—newly arranged by Burt and sung by the great Ron Isley—has the timeless feel of an instant classic. I had the good fortune to attend Bacharach and Isley’s New York showcase performance Tuesday night, and I’ve posted a brief recap of the show and a gallery of images. My thanks go out to Linda Dozoretz, Allison Ravenscroft and Sue Main.

I added a gallery of photos from September’s Burt Bacharach Tribute On Ice. The television special–which also stars vocalists James Ingram and Michael McDonald and a cast of world-class figure skaters–will air on NBC in December.

Here I Am: Isley Meets Bacharach, Burt’s new record featuring the great Ron Isley singing the classic songs of Bacharach & David, will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 11. Burt and Ron will be performing songs from the record backed by a full orchestra at two special showcase concerts: On Thursday, Nov. 6, in Los Angeles and on Tuesday, Nov. 11, in New York.
